WKLA Radio went on the air on October 8, 1944, originally housed on the second floor of the Masonic Temple in downtown Ludington, Michigan. Karl A. Ashbacher was the originally owner of the station and the call letters originated from his initials. Ray Plank purchased the station in 1949. In 1951, the station was moved to its current site at 5941 W. US 10 in Ludington, MI. WKLA expanded with an FM Station in 1971. Other past owners of WKLA include Tom Plank and Chickering & Associates. In 1996, the station was purchased by Roger Baerwolf under the corporate name of Lake Michigan Broadcasting, Inc. Today, the company owns and operates WKLA AM/FM, WMTE AM/FM (Manistee) and WKZC FM (Scottville).

WKLA's FM station today plays Adult Contemporary music; its 4,900-watt signal at 106.3 can be heard from Kaleva, Michigan in the north to Hart, Michigan in the south. AM 1450 operates with 1,000 watts of power and airs news-talk programming.
